Mini suite mid ship, Dolphin 404. Great location and since this was a very rough crossing, I think we were in the best position. Our friends were next door in 402--in theory the balcony should have opened up, but the door would not stay open, and at night was banging to and fro, so maintenance had to lock it shut. On this deck, you are totally visible from all the decks above, but we didn't mind. The weather was not conducive to sitting outside, though we were always out there into and out of ports. It was great to have 2 tv's and 2 areas, it felt like a real living room and we often played games with our friends in the living area. We were able to keep the room quite chilled, the our steward, Martin, had made the bed very comfortable, in fact, the best ever on Princess, known for their impossible beds. The bath was large and as I mentioned earlier, we were able to both get ready at the same time in front of the mirror. The carpet, drapes, and bed dust ruffles were very tired and the ship needs some refreshing in all areas. We did see several cabins with what appeared to be new carpeting and decorating, so maybe they are refreshing as needed.

D404 - Great mini-suite! So many drawers and shelves with great long open closet and shelved second closet, bathtub, refrigerator, easy to move around, with two flat screen TVs, balcony and quiet location but close enough to elevators. More room than we expected. And of course, Martin our attentive steward. Read entire member review.

Dolphin Deck D415. Adequate closet space. Bathroom good size. Quiet area, mid-ship, great access to all areas. Balcony not covered but all right. Felt much less movement of the ship being on Deck 9 and mid-ship. Read entire member review.

D503-close to stairways and elevators. Very quiet. Spacious balcony. You can view everything right from your balcony without needing to go up on deck! Mattress needs replacing soon, but overall great cabin. Read entire member review.

D529 Mini-suite. Plenty of room for the 2 of us with 4 suitcases. good location as no inside cabins directly across. Dolphin deck runs the entire length of the ship so this made "racing" back and forth by the kids a prime location, but nothing serious to complain about. This cabin is mid-ships and the ride was very smooth. Read entire member review.

Good closet space, plenty of luggage space, two TVs, good size bathroom, no iron or ironing board, outlet in bathroom is only for razors, have to use desk side outlet for hair dryer, comfy bed, spacious, all around a good room. Not noisey either. Balcony is not covered. Read entire member review.

I loved the balcony on Dolphin deck for the scenery viewing. I liked not having to look down on anyone else. The mini-suite was plenty spacious, as was the bathroom. The fold-out bed was a bit small for my 6-2 son, but he's young and made do just fine. The couch itself was very comfortable for sitting and the bed was very comfortable as well -- we had no need for eggcrate mattresses. Everything was very clean and the service top-notch.

We loved our cabin. It was nicely decorated and well appointed. We made friends with two other couples and entertained often in our cabin. We found the space ample to comfortably entertain 6 people. Any more and it would have been too crowded with not enough seating. It is also in a quite part of the ship so it has little foot traffic. Since it is up on deck 15 you can feel a lot of the ship's vibration and motion. If the motion bothers you, this is not a good cabin for you. If you love it as we do, you will sleep very well.
